I must share

So as my son finished using the bathroom, he needed help getting his PJ's back on... so as I'm helping him (which would be so much easier if he actually was working with me) he's asking what the hand symbol of pinky and pointer finger up (like this .|,,| ) means... We do a few signs and he knows the one for love ( \|,,| ) so it makes sense he'd want to know what other combinations might mean... so I tell him it means "rock on"... choose that over the devil sign... thought it wise to head off some other questions... so anyways, right after this, he looks down at his foot realizing that (in not helping me at all) his pj is twisted around his foot and automatically without thinking out comes "oh, that's funky".... seriously, a 4 yr old saying funky... automatically... cracked me up... so naturally it came out of his mouth- I just wonder where the learning for that connotation came from... what else has been funky in our lives?

Oh and then to top it all off, he says "rock off" and I correct him- no, rock on, and he continues "rock off", "rock on", "rock off" and I realize that he's just turnin off the rock.

This is carter. And a moment of hilarity!

oh the things that need to be done...

let me list them-
first after getting a car wash yesterday, i leaked lots of air... by the time i was home, a flat tire :(
Now i have a nice black donut/spare... need to go to costco and get the flat repaired (btw, this would be one the ONE tire that is not orignial to my NEW 08 minivan because of a previous unfixable flat)
2. need to return "warming throw" to costco because the damn thing doesn't work- want to hear this story? of course you do- notice the words "warming throw" yeah, that's because it's not a heated blanket- it's lower power and smaller.. but it was cheaper! And then I get the flu; cold, chills, body ache, etc, and I can't get warm- plug the damn thing in and all i get is a big fat red light... trouble shoot like my life depended on it and come to the conclusion that the gosh darn thing is just broke- perhaps i should have spent the money to get the real version of a heated blanket but alas now all I have is a trip to the return line and no stinkin warmth.
3. Donations to the thrift store. Big ol bag. Finally went through old clothes and got a bit organized, and now another errand to run. Simple enough but still hasn't been done :(
4. Clean the house. This one should be basic but it is BAD. Very BAD. I would be embarassed for anyone to see. Bad
5. Christmas cards. The cheap version- no pretty shutterfly photo cards, just a photoshopped version of the kids smiling into some stock cards that I found at the thrift store. Must find all friends and family addresses and finish that nice letter that explains to everyone why we often fall of the face of the earth- too damn busy!
6. Deliver much needed xmas lights and handdown jacket to friend who has neither- she's around the corner, I have her key, can do it anytime.... but still not getting done.
7. Make casserole for two families that 1. have cancer, 2. have new baby. Missing one essential ingredient so must go to grocery store... read- leave the house. sigh.
8. Study and prepare self for precalc tutoring tonight as getting tossed into logarithms and exponetial functions was ok, but being better prepared would take less review time during the actual study time- besides, i love and miss math enough to enjoy the review.
9. take care of my self.... i'm fat, and not taking my iron pills... one is easy to remedy, the other is not.
10. not kill children who eat all the advent calendar chocolates and poo in their pants. And add brown sugar to their honey chex cereal. sigh.

Notes

One. Dog Farts. Dog Farts Stink.
Sitting in a room with the dog, smelling nothing but obvious dog farts... like every 5 minutes some odoriferous wave of stink settles about the room... no one but me and dog and I'll tell you- my butt is quiet.

Second. Warming Plate. Cold Feet.
I can't sleep when cold. That's all there is to it. So how do I cope? I inherited a lovely 6" square warming plate that when microwaved makes a nice toasty toe warmer. Caution- will burn on direct contact with skin.
Sad eh?
